Businesses to go green on World Environment Day

Businesses may want to make an impression with green business practices.

June 5th marks the United Nations World Environment Day, which aims to raise awareness for a greener and more eco-friendly earth.

This year’s theme focuses on forests and the role they have on communities across the globe.

Companies may wish to boost their corporate image and promote a positive message to employees by going green - not just on the day, but for an extended time and adopt green business practices.

The National Waste Report identified the impact that effective waste management had on the environment. Findings reveal that 80 per cent of Australian employees were keen to see more recycling at their office.

Green business cards made from recycled paper are beneficial for the environment and may assist in making your firm stand out from competitors.

The number of businesses interested in sustainable practices in Australia has increased over the years, with the federal budget investing $100 million in a renewable energy fund committed to lowering levels of greenhouse gas and promoting alternative energy sources.

Long term practices include encouraging the separating of waste by ensuring that there are sufficient recycling bins and e-waste bins at the office.

Business documents and reports could also be printed on pulped paper that is recycled and bleach-free.
